NOTES
|
| An
overcast but dry day. There were glimpses of sun
and blue sky throughout the walk. Started at Dennis
Knoll car park which is not far from the base of
the edge. Not many walkers at the start but as the
morning progressed the numbers increased. There were
climbers practicing on the rocks under the edge too.
Once on the edge it was an easy walk to High Neb
(458m). On the way back I encountered many of the
Millstones which were scattered around below the
edge. Once quarried and finished in this area, the
finished and half-finished discards show how quickly
the market collapsed in the nineteenth century. |
